WALL BED. I APPLICATION FILED AUG.10 1916- 1 349338. Patented Aug. 17, 1920.

q 3 SHEETS$HEET 3- 32 are connected with rod of the parts are reversed. Cushion springs 30 and with the cross bar 11 so as to cushion the downward movement of the bed frame construction and prevent accidents or jars from too sudden opening of the same. I

In use, when it is desired to use the bed, the panel 8 is swung on its pivot to bring the bed. construction out into the room when the same may be readily lowered into opcrative relation. 'hen it is desired to dispose of the bed, the same is swung upwardly to the position indicated by the dotted lines in Fig. 2 and the panel Sswung on its pivot to carry the bed construction into the recess or compartment 7.

The specific form and arrangement of the parts set forth is a simple and eflicient one for the purpose.

While I have illustrated and described the preferred form of construction for carrying my invention into effect, this is capable of variation and modification without departing from the spirit of the invention. I, therefore, do not wish to be limited to the precise details-of construction set forth, but desire to avail myself of such variations and modifications as come within the scope of the appended claims.

Having described my invention what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:

l. The combination of a support; and a bed construction pivoted for foldin upwardly against said support, said bet construction being pivotally mounted on two swinging members to cause the arcs of swing of the pivotal mountings of the bed construction to cross each other; and a spring operatively connected with one of said swingin members and arranged to operate to yieldlngly hold said bed construction in both its folded and unfolded condition, substantially as described.

'2. The combination of a support; a pair of substantially U-shaped bell crank levers pivoted on said support; a bed construction pivotally mounted on one set of arms of said levers; springs connected with the other arms of said levers; and a pair of substantially U-shaped links pivotally mounted at one of their ends on said support, the other ends of said links being pivotally connected with said bed construction, the pivoted connections of said links and said levers with said bed construction being arranged to swing on arcs which cross each other as said bed construction is folded, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
